Verdict
Sir Mark Prescott wouldn't be the obvious choice to train the winner of a Wetherby bumper but the Newmarket master handler wouldn't be coming here for fun so his Montjeu gelding DANCE TO THE STARS get the vote. Mist The Boat has a more conventional pedigree for these races being out of a winning hurdler and chaser while the Presenting gelding Moscow Presents is from a decent jumping familiy. Newton Thistle is by Erhaab out of a mare with a stamina-packed pedigree so jumping should be his game but Mykia could go well at a fair price as he's a half-brother to three winners on the Flat.
